"The Indigenous culture existed quite well for tens of thousands of years, some say even over 100,000 years, and they existed without wheat and corn. So what did they eat?" questioned Fraser Coast councillor Robert Garland. "We're only discovering now the diversity of nuts, berries and flowers that were eaten and I think we really need to research that a bit deeper."

Photo: The new 'Take It To The Streets' project is a joint effort between art group Creative Regions, Bundaberg Regional Council, and some of Bundaberg's most well-known artists, to add some fun to the North Bundaberg streetscape, turning areas around some of its eateries into whimsical outdoor dining spaces with an artistic twist.

Photo: The set of Maryborough has been held by five different political parties and two independents in the last three decades. Current sitting member is the LNP's Anne Maddern who has held the seat since 2012. Previously the seat was held by independent Chris Foley who is recontesting in 2015. The electorate borders with the seats of Hervey Bay, Burnett, Callide, and Gympie.

Photo: Allan says the plan was to travel the country for a year with their two girls, aged two and four, before they hit school age. What they didn't expect was the amount of other families doing the same thing. "The amount of families out there - I was blown away. There's so many people doing it, they're doing a whole year, some people two years," he said. "A lot of people were expecting we were going to be out there with the grey nomads, but the amount of families with young kids who are homeschooling; it's just incredible."

Photo: For Donna Wolgast, second-in-charge at the Bundaberg RSPCA, it all starts with figuring out what they have that will work in a Christmas float. "Because we're a non-profit organisation we've got to work with what we can afford to make it very Christmas-ey," she said. "We have to get a trailer so one of our kind volunteers has donated that. So I sit down work out what we've got, what we need to get, and work out roughly where we're going to put things."
